Cletus C.:Really? If you're so in love with Reddit why do you keep jerking Fark around? End it, you coward.

You know what? I have.

I've been coming here since 2001. I remember the old Fark, when it was fun and freewheeling, and before Drew decided he wanted to make the site corporate-safe. Back when epic threads really were epic.

And I, too, was annoyed by people saying the same things I'm saying about Reddit until a year or so ago. But then I actually checked Reddit out. And nearly all the content on Fark really was just re-posted from Reddit a day or so later. And users have a real impact on the community without having to pay $5 a month. And discussions aren't 90% troll bait/troll bash because that stuff gets downvoted. Where there is a specialized discussion area for whatever your interest (though the less said about some, the better). Anyone saying they can't follow Reddit or hate the design are either not actually using the site, stupid, or missing the point, though someone can obviously prefer one over the other.

I've left and I've not been back, and felt I missed little. This story (a content steal of a repost) struck a cord enough for me to log in an post again. Consider this a brief call to an ex after seeing her hit rock bottom in public.

This just in, Tarentino reuses the same names and dialogue over and over again... A LOT.

This isn't "Easter eggs", or some "interconnected universe", its laziness...Unless anyone believes the reference to "Alabama" in Reservoir Dogs is really a hidden direct reference to "Alabama Whorely" from True Romance.

superoogie:A fair enough point, but with the trolls gone, at least some relevant, interesting discussion happens. I took a stroll over to Politics, and the same threadcrapping trolls are there from years ago preventing any interesting discussion from happening. God forbid something does happen worth reading, it is buried in all the troll/counter-troll bullshiat. On Reddit, the interesting discussion is threaded and easily readable. Yes, the price for that is a bit more groupthink, but frankly, I find it head and shoulders above what has happened here, or, to the point, what hasn't happened here.

The threads don't make it more readable. They make it harder for minority opinions and newer posts to be seen, same as voting. People reply to the top comment (highest voted) regardless of whether their post is related.

You tie your "score" to your personal value and freak out if anything happens to it. That's why people are obsessed with credit and vengeful of "stealing links." You posted MY link from r/Movies in r/Film - how DARE you. Meanwhile you're not producing anything. You're earning a higher score, which means fark all, except in your head. Fark can't "steal" reddit's links. Reddit never makes anything as a community and it deserves no credit for anything linked to from its pages. It's the same as the rest of the internet. It's called sharing.

YodaBlues:/Reddit wouldn't be so bad if the WALLOTEXT layout didn't make me want to jab a fork into my dickhole.

Seeing as how imgur.com URLs more or less follow the subreddits they're posted to, there's absolutely no reason to visit the shiatwall-o-text.imgur.com/r/assimgur.com/r/gonewildimgur.com/r/funnyimgur.com/r/awwimgur.com/r/wtfimgur.com/r/onoff

etc.

Since the only redeeming feature of reddit was the willingness of its readership to remove their clothes and post pictures, having a direct link to the place where almost all of them get posted is obviously a tremendous improvement in user experience.
